I'm still a young'n compared a lot of you, but I've been following the team since the Pieper days. I think that was the most emotionally draining (exciting) final minute of basketball I've watched from MU. It was almost too good to be true. Just amazing!
Other than the pass to Jerome Whitehead Nothing comes close. Twice, this season has been put on his back and TWICE he has carried the team.
Did that honestly happen?
I disagree. It was not that draining because I already Conceded defeat.

Still shocked...simply an amazing finish. A 60 seconds of basketball I will never forget
What an end...my wife isn't a huge bball fan and I think she jumped higher than me.
Too bad Vander isn't any good
What's the blue-snear game winning shot count at now ?

I'm with you... I'd gone through all the stages of grief
Never a doubt.
What a memorable season now. That justified it.

+1
Has anyone found the VB hater board, I think they shut it for lack of funds back on the night of the USF game........VANDER MO-FER BLUE!!
I go back to Deane's first year..
Most draining win...OK...maybe
That Stanford game was the most emotional draining loss I have ever watched. I hate Lopez...
Stanford took me hours to come to terms with, it still hurts, (hate the Lopez twins) particularly unfortunate since I was hosting guests at the time who were not MU fans. Washington. I still have the (now) empty beer bottle I happen to be drinking at the time. It was devastating. My student years were from the era of Majerus and Dukiet so winning is still exciting to me.

Which no one with any ounce of brains was ever heard saying
Yeah, what about Louisville when we blew the 17 pt lead, Stanford or Washington in the tournament? Those were much more emotionally draining for me. At least we won this won. The final minute was the least draining as that was when we started playing well. It was exhilarating.
True guys. Totally agree on "win" as we've had some very tough losses. I guess over time I got used to the losses especially. I'm not used to watching us come back in that fashion. It's still hard to fathom this ending. Just each 3 was so timely and each time I was thinking of how I would react if we actually won, and we did it.
How about as draining as the Diener - Holy Cross win. I hope it turns out as well as that did.
I honestly didn't think they had a chance until I saw the Davidson player stretch out for the pass on the sideline.
As they went the sidelines for the ref review, I tried to be a nice coworker and take the headphones out of my Itouch so my coworker could hear the call of the last play too. At that point the March Madness app froze!
Before I could close it and get back to the game audio, my computer monitor, which was on GameTracker showed that MU had taken the lead. So, we missed the whole V.B. play. Most surprising part of the result of this game is that my Itouch is still intact.
I was at Missouri '03 game in Indy, and I think that was the most draining game I have ever been at.
How about Lazar steping over the end line four years ago against mizzou that was painful

Was at that game. Just sat there in silence for ten minutes with three other alums after the game ended. I will always loath the Menendez brothers.
It also felt like That last Davidson timeout was more than a minute. Felt like an eternity. Hahaha.
I've been watching MU since 88-89, and I can't remember them ever coming back from that type of deficit with a minute left. That was some Reggie in the Garden sh*t. Unreal.

I was in a room full of Stanford fans in abar in Mexico. It was a horrible loss for me. This game was like the opposite... Dread at the start and a redeemer at the end. My heart is still sort of racing.

Tom Crean would have never been able to coach that close. He would have kept four time outs, called a b.s.play each chance he got and we would have lost by 8. Can't wait for the first 1 vs 16 upset.

The above was written by my wife. But she knows more than me. Played on a USA Today Super Preps Top 25 Team at St Ignatius Prep in Chicago and when given the opportunity, chose to drink DI at MU instead of playing DIII at John Carroll.
